Dempsey seethed with rage, “How can you let her live like this? I would rather you kill her!”
Clarence replied nonchalantly, “I didn’t do anything illegal. If you want to help her get rid of the
sufferings, you can kill her yourself.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be so cruel?”
“Everyone should pay the price for the evil doings he/she once did, right?”
Joanna supported herself by putting her hand on the chair arm. She questioned in a cold voice after
adjusting her mood, “Haven’t you do anything evil?”
Clarence chuckled, “I’m not a good man in nature. If you want to seek revenge for her, I’ll welcome it at
any time.”
Being enraged, Dempsey took two steps backwards and covered his chest, “Great, great… I
underestimated you before. Your arrogance will bring retribution to you one day. Clarence Conrad, I
regret the most in this life that I took you, an illegitimate son, back to the Conrads’ Mansion before. I
should have known that your bad qualities can never be changed!”
“Arrogant? What did I do? Then the thing I will do next shall be regarded as a monstrous crime.”
“You…”
Before Dempsey could finish his words, Clarence’s subordinates rushed into the living room and
headed towards the study.
Dempsey asked, “What do you want to do?”
Clarence replied blandly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. It’s just that I want to use your seal.”
“Your wish!”
Right at this moment, Dempsey’s men also rushed over when they heard the commotions inside. The
two forces stood opposite each other all tensed up.
It was the first time that they had such a confrontation ever since Clarence cut off the relationship with
the Conrads.
Dempsey seethed with rage and lost control of himself. He summoned all his men here. If Clarence’s
men dared to take a step forward, they would possibly fight.
They were now in the Conrads’ Mansion, his territory.
Could this unfilial son defeat him here?
Sitting on the sofa, Clarence slightly tapped one of his kneel with his finger, seeming to be pondering
something.
After a short while, Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, Master Conrad’s men are all here.”
Clarence glanced around, “Let’s get started.”
Dempsey was shocked when he heard the words as he didn’t expect Clarence would really resort to
violence.
But when he prepared to retreat, he found Clarence’s men simply took out their phones and shot
pictures of his subordinates.
When Dempsey’s men realized this, they all hurriedly reached out to cover their faces, yet Clarence’s
men had taken many pictures of them.
Dempsey was bewildered. What were they doing now?
Clarence stood up, “Well. Looks like I can’t borrow the seal from you. Then I will leave first.”
“Stop! What the hell do you want to do?”
Clarence turned around and glanced at him, “You’re true. My arrogance will bring retribution to me one
day. So I should take some pictures in case that I won’t know who the one who kills me will be.”
After finishing the words, Clarence lifted his leg and walked out of the living room.
Nathan and his subordinates followed behind him.
After their leaving, a man beside Dempsey asked, “Master Conrad, what should we…”
Dempsey ordered fretfully, “You guys all leave.”
With that said, he added in a low voice, “Pay more attention to the ones arrested in the backyard.”
Dempsey had a hunch that Clarence’s purpose was not that simple.
His subordinates received the order and left.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Annie’s eyes had no focus. Probably she had gone crazy before.
Seeing this, Dempsey waved his hand and said, “Take her away. It’s annoying to see her.”
His subordinate asked, “Okay. But where should I take her to?”
“Send her to the prison, madhouse, whatever. Don’t let her see her again.”
Annie had been pampered by Joanna. She was arrogant, unruly and didn’t know what she should do
and shouldn’t do. She had caused many troubles and she deserved this karma.
Annie was then taken away. Dempsey looked towards Joanna who had a ghastly face and said in a
deep voice, “Enough. Didn’t Clarence say that Annie’s condition is due to an accident? No matter what,
she should blame herself. Now that she knew she had caused trouble, she should behave herself in
the prison and reform herself. Why did she have to make a fuss?”
Joanna retorted sarcastically, “Then tell me, does Clarence prefer to put me in jail, or turn me into a
crazy woman like Annie?”
Dempsey frowned, “I’ve told you not to go against him openly. Annie didn’t have the guts to Stella down
the stairs which caused her miscarriage and it must be you who instructed her to do so. Why do you
have to… Alas, if Stella gave birth to her first child before, things will not progress to what they are
now.”
“Do you think you can control Clarence by controlling his child?”
Dempsey replied confidently, “Of course. The Conrad family attaches the greatest attention to the
bloodline. If not so, I would not have taken Clarence back to the family!”
“What you care about is only the bloodline of your family. Let me remind you: you can’t make up for it
ever since you gave the Conrad Group to Clarence. Do you want to control Clarence by making use of
his child? Impossible! Now we can only rely on our ability. One of us must die!”
Joanna, who used to be composed, looked a bit crazy at the moment, “I will not allow him to live
happily even if I have to die.”
Dempsey heaved a long sigh, “You…”
Joanna ignored him and walked upstairs.
Dempsey stayed in the living room. After a while, he walked towards the backyard with the support of
his crutch as he was worried about the condition there.
Justin, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the second floor, silently leaned his head against the wall.
It seemed like he had stayed here for a long time.
…
When Dempsey came to the backyard and walked into the side house, he heard the cries of the baby.
Dempsey asked unhappily, “Why is he crying again?”
The two babysitters replied helplessly, “This child is afraid of strangers and he doesn’t want us to take
care of him. Moreover…”
“What?”
“Moreover, he refuses to eat anything. And it seems like he has a fever.”
Dempsey knitted his brows, “Have you called the doctor?”
The babysitters hesitated and didn’t reply.
Dempsey turned his head to look at his subordinate, “Hurry up to call a doctor to check his condition.”
His subordinate received the order and left.
Dempsey put down his crutch, “Let me hold the baby.”
The babysitter handed the baby to him.
But Noah cried more hysterically in Dempsey’s arms and his voice became hoarse.
Dempsey pulled a long face and handed the baby back to the babysitter.
He asked, “Have he eaten anything since last night?”
“I guess he was very hungry that he ate something this morning, but he spewed up the entire meal
soon after that.”
“Aren’t you babysitters? Why can’t you finish such an easy task?”
The two babysitters murmured, not daring to say anything else.
After a short while, a doctor walked into the house, examined the baby’s condition, put a fever cooling
pad on his forehead and then said to Dempsey, “The baby is so young. It’s hard for him to get
accustomed to it if you suddenly ask the other person to take care of him. You’d better let the persons
who have taken care of him before coming here. His condition will only be relieved when he doesn’t
refuse to eat.
Dempsey pondered for a while and then gave an order, “Take that young girl here.”
